John Mayer gives update on health following emergency surgery

On Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2017, John Mayer took to social media to let his followers know how he’s doing, after having had an emergency appendectomy. He also took the time to thank his fans for their love and support. “Thank you everyone for the well wishes. Had surgery yesterday and woke up to see some amazingly kind and loving tweets,” he tweeted out.

Mayer apologized for having postponed Dead and Company concert dates, as a result of his health emergency. “I’m so sorry that we couldn’t finish out the last few dates of the tour,” he said. “This band and these shows mean the world to me. Love you all dearly.”

An hour later, he shared a photo of himself on Instagram, donning a hospital gown. “Still got it,” the 40-year-old wrote.

As Nicki Swift previously reported, Mayer was rushed to a hospital in New Orleans, La. on Tuesday, Dec. 5, requiring an emergency appendectomy. Multiple Dead and Company tour dates were quickly postponed (via CNN).
